Lisa Bramwinson, Tom King, John Pharaoh 17 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: and Assignment and joining us now is Adam Posen. He's 18 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 1: president of the Peterson Institute for International economics. He's one 19 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 1: of our great American scholars on Germany, and far more 20 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 1: than that, had a tour of duty as Megan Green 21 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: trots over across the Atlantic here in the coming weeks. 22 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: Adam Posen at the Bank of England years ago, two 23 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 1: days ago, Adam Posen, you made clear that we would 24 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: see six percent plus interest rates by central banks, and 25 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,559 Speaker 1: particularly by the Bank of England. Will that level? Will 26 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: that crush the United Kingdom economy? 27 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 2: It's gonna hurt, There's no question, Tom, Thank you and 28 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 2: Lisa for having me back. The issue is that from 29 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 2: the start of this inflationary period in the UK, along 30 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 2: with the Euro Area, the Bank of England MPCI majority 31 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 2: the governor have kept talking as though they weren't going 32 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 2: to have to raise rates that much, even though they 33 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 2: had kept raising them. They kept talking as though they 34 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 2: didn't need to go much further. They probably wouldn't need 35 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,399 Speaker 2: to go much further. Whereas from the start you had 36 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 2: a UK from twenty twenty one onwards that had the 37 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 2: worst aspects of US labor markets made words by Brexit 38 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 2: and EU Euro Area exposure to energy shots from Russia 39 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 2: had them both and have less credibility post Brexit and 40 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 2: post all the political shenanigans, some five prime ministers in 41 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 2: seven years, so ultimately it never made any sense that 42 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 2: the UK was going to add up with a lower 43 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 2: terminal rate for its central bank tightening than the Fed 44 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 2: or the ECV. 45 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: This is important, folks. I'm gonna get the theory out 46 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 1: of the way here. There's a blistering essay this morning 47 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: in the Telegraph from Ambrose Evans Pritchard, hugely controversial, but 48 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:58,679 Speaker 1: within it doctor Posen he alludes to Emery Lactose's idea 49 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: half a country a go of a research program of 50 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: where you get a set of beliefs going, and boy, 51 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 1: you're gonna stick with your research program. Right or wrong? 52 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,519 Speaker 1: Does the Bank of England have a flawed research program? 53 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: And do they need to amend it pronto? 54 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 2: I fear that they have taken too seriously some of 55 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 2: the some of their models. All central banks have investment 56 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 2: in their models. But one of the good things that 57 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 2: happened at the Bank of England when I was there 58 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 2: during the global financial crisis, and then most of the 59 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 2: other central banks, was you realized, under those circumstances you 60 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 2: put the model aside, you don't use it if it's 61 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 2: not realistic. Unfortunately, to me, the Bank has been relying 62 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 2: on a couple mistaken assumptions or worldview. First that there 63 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 2: was no erosion and credibility of the overall UK macro 64 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 2: policy regime post brings in post politics, which clearly is 65 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 2: not true. And second that if there was going to 66 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 2: be a major real income shock, which they did rightly 67 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 2: call that that would lead to a decline in nominal 68 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 2: wage growth, and that was clearly mistaken. And I and 69 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 2: others than other former NPC members like sister Widwani, we're 70 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 2: pointing this out as an error at the end of 71 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 2: twenty twenty one in their forecast, and they didn't come 72 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 2: off that until very recently. I'm not conceptual like Ambrose. 73 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 2: I'm not going to say is this a lot Ca 74 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 2: toast moment or you change of para all that, But 75 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 2: I think over the last year and a half two 76 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 2: years they have stuck with some model assumptions that were 77 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 2: publicly questioned and some of the members, the external members 78 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 2: of the committee also questioned, Adam. 79 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 3: Are there parallels with the UK and the US and 80 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 3: the Federal Reserve which is currently at a precipice of 81 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 3: a pretty key moment. 82 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 2: At least, I think it's fair to draw the parallel. 83 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 2: I think, just as with our markets with energy shocks, 84 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 2: it's worse than the UK. Unfortunately in this instance, because 85 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 2: it took the FED a while to change their view 86 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 2: on inflation. A bunch of us were beating the drum 87 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,239 Speaker 2: for them to do that starting at the first quarter 88 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 2: of twenty twenty one. But the bottom line is they 89 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 2: did significantly change it by summer of twenty twenty two, 90 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 2: and they clearly from the testimony, they don't have a 91 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 2: full strategy, but they are aware inflation is job one. 92 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 2: They are aware it's trend inflation. They are aware that 93 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 2: it wasn't the transitory stuff. So I think the FED 94 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 2: got out of its own way to some degree. 95 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 3: We are discussing this concern about whether the FED can 96 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 3: get down to a two percent inflation rate without causing pain, 97 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 3: that perhaps people are unprepared for something that you raised 98 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 3: a while ago, that perhaps it's just better to get 99 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 3: to a three percent rate and be more comfortable with 100 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 3: that higher rate. Where are you now in terms of 101 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 3: what the FED has done and where it is heading 102 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 3: in terms of inflation rate based on how much it's 103 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 3: raised rates so far. 104 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 2: I would love for Chris Waller and others to write, 105 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 2: love to see vacancies continue to come down without unemployment 106 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 2: rising and the pass through from all the previous shocks 107 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 2: to be weeded out and therefore not have to have 108 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 2: a much higher rate. I think that is a very 109 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 2: bad gamble. I'm in fact more hawkish than even some 110 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 2: of my colleagues on this, even though I'm known p 111 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 2: obviously as an inflation dom because I see US as 112 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 2: having such tight labor markets in the US and such 113 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 2: trend inflation persisting even though it's coming off some that 114 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 2: you're going to need real contraction in the credit markets 115 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 2: to get where you need to go. 116 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 3: This is really important, Adam. What's required in terms of 117 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,040 Speaker 3: how high rates to have to go in order to 118 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 3: get real contraction in credit markets that are resilient. 119 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 4: Well, I mean, one. 120 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 2: Way to look at it is that we finally, over 121 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 2: the last few months, have spreads on quality spreads between 122 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 2: you know, different classes of bonds or government borrowers versus 123 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 2: private sector borrowers that are consistent with the tightening cycle. 124 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 2: We haven't seen spreads be that wide, very wide at all, 125 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 2: until very recently. So similarly, if you, however, you want 126 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 2: to compute what you think the real interest rate is. 127 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 2: We are just now getting to positive really, and so 128 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 2: to me it's we are only now getting to type policy. 129 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 2: And especially since the residential construction and employment proved very 130 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 2: resilient to interest rate rises in a way that we 131 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 2: have not seen before. That to me is the biggest 132 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 2: surprise in the US. It tells us that the amount 133 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 2: of monetary tightening has been done so far as sufficient. Now, 134 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 2: maybe what we're just now gotten over the last couple 135 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 2: of months will prove sufficient, But I'd rather air on 136 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 2: the side of tightening more and that the US economy 137 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 2: he won't fall into recession. 138 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: We've got some time for one more question here, Adam. 139 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,679 Speaker 1: We're going to bring you over to the next half hour, Folks, 140 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: this conversation is so important without imposing the Peterson Institute. 141 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: It's real simple, Adam. There's a whole school of thought 142 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: out there with disinflationary vectors in place, and we're being successful. 143 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: And I want to talk about the naval gazing of 144 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: do we get back to two percent or whatever in 145 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: the next section. But right now, are you suggesting that 146 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: we completely misjudge how we will extend the X axis 147 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: of these high interest rates, and we will see a 148 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: five percent or dare I say six percent millu well 149 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: out into twenty twenty four. 150 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 2: My central call is that they're going to get above 151 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 2: five point five before the end of the year, and 152 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 2: it's going to remain there into at least second quarter 153 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 2: of twenty twenty four. And unlike some other people, I 154 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 2: think that the risk is more that they may have 155 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 2: to do more than that, and not so much that 156 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 2: they're going to have to do less than that. 157 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: What we're doing, we're talking to a cross section of people, 158 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: and we've certainly seen that in views on the equity markets, 159 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: some huge caution, some optimism, blinding neutrality from US Wealth Bank, 160 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: and we're also driving forward the conversation wrapped around theory 161 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,559 Speaker 1: under question for Global Wall Street. This has been a 162 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: joy for the last fifteen minutes without im posing and 163 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: we continue now and with me as well, is Michael McKee, 164 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: our Bloomberg International Economics and Policy and Theory correspondent. When 165 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: the theory's thrown out the window? Mike mckaty, you first 166 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: question for you, and that is how bad has the 167 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: theory been blown out the window? I mean, I mean 168 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: a posin has to act posing like and you know, 169 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: future central banker like you don't. 170 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 5: Well, I was listening to Adam earlier and I think 171 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 5: he's that it's not just the Bank of England, it's 172 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 5: all economists basically work off of models that have worked 173 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,319 Speaker 5: for twenty twenty five thirty years that aren't working anymore now. 174 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 5: Some discarded those faster than others, and certainly you could 175 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 5: say the Fed did not, the Bank of England did not. 176 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 5: But now they are to varying degrees adjusting. And that's 177 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 5: the question, though, what do you do? Where do you go? 178 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: If the model doesn't work? 179 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 5: You can try to figure out why and readjust a model, 180 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 5: but they become more guidance than any kind of a 181 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 5: real path forward. 182 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: We continue with that, imposing the president of the Peterson 183 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: Institute for International Economics, Adam, I'm going to get right 184 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: to it and frame here the path down to three 185 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: percent in a raging debate led by your work with 186 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: your colleague Olivier Blanchard John Williams as an ur starts 187 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: subdued and we will get back near twoish percent. You disagree, 188 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 1: But what's the nuance? Now? What's changed in where we 189 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: are heading within this new level for FED rate policy. 190 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 2: I don't think much has changed in the spirit of 191 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 2: the conversation you and Michael we're just having. I think 192 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 2: more needs to change. So what we had was a 193 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 2: series of central bankers repeatedly saying throughout the last couple 194 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 2: of years, do means to and then saying sato voce 195 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 2: but audibly, Look, it might be better to get that 196 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 2: to stop at three or to be slow getting to two, 197 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 2: but we can't admit it now. And my belief, which 198 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 2: was part of my belief when we were advocating and 199 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 2: designing inflation targets in the first place, was the point 200 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 2: of inflation targets was to communicate an a credible way 201 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 2: with the public. And so I think between a choice 202 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 2: of saying you're going to tow but then taking your 203 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 2: time about it, and then maybe in a FED review 204 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 2: in two years time you sort of admit that you 205 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 2: were not going to do is not preferable to saying 206 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 2: we're only going to three and since and this is 207 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 2: actually a virtue of how bad things are. If you 208 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 2: get if you take us down from eight to three, 209 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 2: you're still pretty credible disinflation and stuff. 210 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,199 Speaker 1: What's the Venn diagram look like of Adam Posen in 211 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: a rules based John Taylor, can we be rules based 212 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 1: if we get back to a Posin blenchard three percent? 213 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 2: Well inflation targeting. The part of it I'd like to 214 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 2: keep is always been what I called this discipline discretion 215 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 2: co authorate to late Thomas Laubach, or what Bernanki and 216 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 2: Michigan called constrained discretion, the idea that it's intermediate between 217 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 2: rules and pure discretion. And I think Professor Taylor has 218 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 2: been right about a lot over the last couple of years, 219 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 2: But I still am not sold on the idea of 220 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 2: the rule. What I am sold on is the idea 221 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 2: that you can't deviate from the target without explaining yourself 222 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 2: and adapting the target. And so I don't know about 223 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 2: a ven diagram. I think we both agree, would agree 224 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 2: you need a lot more inflation disinflation than we've had. 225 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 2: That the FED was behind the curve and had a 226 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 2: wrong idea, But ultimately it's not because they didn't never 227 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 2: rules because they had a wrong idea. 228 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 5: Well, Adam, if I can follow up on the idea 229 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 5: of whether or not you want to raise the inflation target. 230 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 5: Do you have a lot of confidence one way or 231 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 5: another that two percent is wrong or three percent is 232 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 5: going to fit the economy that comes out of this 233 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 5: whole thing, because at this point it seems like we 234 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 5: don't really know, We don't have a good grasp on 235 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 5: where inflation is going and how fast. 236 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 2: It's fair, it's a fair question. I want to go 237 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 2: back to one one basic point, which was when we 238 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 2: an Ancunisian lawback and I wrote the inflation targeting book. 239 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,079 Speaker 2: We wrote in it and assumed that inflation targets would 240 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 2: be reset over time. As I started saying, and I'm 241 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 2: only speaking for myself now, not my distinguished co authors, 242 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,439 Speaker 2: as I started saying around two thousand and four, two 243 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 2: thousand and five, we made a mistake because people treated 244 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 2: these inflation targets like exchange rate targets. They were scared 245 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 2: to move them because they were worried it gave a 246 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 2: bad message. And so and there was too much convergence 247 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 2: among different central banks and different economies all on this 248 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 2: two percent, and that just reinforced it. Whereas you should 249 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 2: be adapting the inflation to target to the realities, not 250 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 2: every minute to make excuses, but every several years to 251 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 2: make it realistic, and so to me, there's no question 252 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 2: that the higher inflation target would be better. We well, 253 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 2: Blanchard used to talk with co authors about a four 254 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 2: percent target. He's now publicly said he's in favor of 255 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 2: a three rather two. I've always believed it should be 256 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 2: higher than two. Not always sorry. When I wrote the book, 257 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 2: I didn't, but I believed it should be moved as needed, 258 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 2: and since fifteen years i've believed it should be moved up. 259 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 2: So I think there's no harm in saying three, because 260 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 2: you're still going to be credible disinflating from where we 261 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 2: are now the three, and then you're not going to 262 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 2: have to go through the major pain of squeezing out 263 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 2: that last bit of inflation. 264 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 5: Well, let me ask you about another communications issue, and 265 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 5: that is forward guidance. The FED and other central banks 266 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 5: really like the idea at various times, but now it 267 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 5: seems like they're having trouble communicating with the markets since 268 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 5: they're unable to say what they're going to do next. 269 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 5: Is that a FED problem, a market problem? Or does 270 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 5: forward guidance not work as well as they thought? 271 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 2: Borer guits never worked as well as all? I mean 272 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 2: back when my first speech after leaving the Bank of 273 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 2: England at Jackson Hole in twenty twelve, I made a 274 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 2: whole point arguing that forward guidance was never going to 275 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 2: work well, and everything since then bears that out. But 276 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 2: that doesn't mean you just wander around and randomly say, oh, 277 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 2: here's today's data. So like I look at Bank of England. 278 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 2: The issue for me, I know we can talk about 279 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 2: the FED, but I mean the banking and the issue 280 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 2: for me is not that they made the wrong interest 281 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 2: rate hikes, because they did a lot of them pretty fast, 282 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 2: but that they kept saying, well, this will be the 283 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 2: last one and we probably don't need to do more. 284 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 2: We're going to be able to stop at four percent. 285 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 2: And so again it's not so much about for guidance, 286 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 2: it's about they communicated the wrong forecast. And I think 287 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 2: the FED or the Bank of England has to or 288 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 2: other central banks have to say, our forecast was wrong, 289 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 2: we are shifting to this forecast. This forecast may be 290 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 2: wrong too, but this is the best guess and therefore 291 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 2: you should expect ax. You're not going to be able 292 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 2: to do forward guidance the way you did in the crisis, 293 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 2: because that was meant as a substitute for policy anyways. 294 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 2: It was never meant to be a standalone, useful tool 295 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 2: in a normal situation. 296 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: I want to get back to FED policy. Got two 297 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: more questions Adam before you go. You've been very generous 298 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: with your time, and the basic one is what Mike 299 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: McKee's going to see in the press conference looking out 300 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: for five, six seven meetings as well for our audience, 301 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 1: what would you suggest will be the market the real 302 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: estate reaction if we get to pose in rate levels. 303 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 2: Thank you for generously giving me this much of surveillance time. 304 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 2: I think the market's going to be negative, but I 305 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 2: don't think in the US it's going to be disastrous, 306 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 2: as you and Lisa and John have repeatedly talked about. Rightly, 307 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 2: this has been an incredibly resilient market in equities. Even 308 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 2: in real estate. The the loss is commercial estate's different, 309 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 2: but in residential real estate the losses have not been 310 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 2: that large given the past run up and construction continues. So, 311 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 2: going back to someone who were saying earlier, Tom, I 312 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 2: think you're going to need in market terms, some form 313 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 2: of capitulation, because that's just the side effect of their 314 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 2: being actual tightening of credit conditions, and I think we're 315 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 2: just getting there. But it doesn't have to be disastrous 316 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,199 Speaker 2: because we don't have the same fragility I believe in 317 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 2: our financial markets. We did past cycles. 318 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: At the Peterson Institute, Chad Bona with a great segment 319 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 1: on the historic collapse of Switzerland's watch industry. That's how 320 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 1: esoteric Peterson Institute can get. One of the things percolating 321 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 1: Adam in late June is a new bout of American exceptionalism. 322 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: Were different than they are? Is America exceptional. 323 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 2: In a lot of social ways, yes, and a lot 324 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 2: of economic ways now, so our racial divisions, our regional divisions, 325 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 2: our gun violence, our nativism. These are all things under 326 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 2: debate and which are not under debate, and a lot 327 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 2: of other high income economies, So we are exceptional in 328 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 2: our economy. The Economist, as you know, had a great 329 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 2: feature a little while back of great survey talking about 330 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 2: the ways in which the US economy powers ahead. It 331 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 2: remains to be seen how much of that was sustainable 332 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 2: versus how much of that was brief fiscal. But ultimately 333 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 2: there is some special sauce to the urban, innovative parts 334 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 2: of the US economy. In services in tech that others 335 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 2: have not been able to replicate, and we have to 336 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,479 Speaker 2: take that. That's a blessing. 337 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: We got to leave it there, Doctor Posen, thank you 338 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: so much for a substantial mid year conversation, Adam posing 339 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: the Peterson Institute formerly is public service to the Bank 340 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: of England. Michael Collins joins now for a brief senior 341 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 1: portfolio manager of PGUM Fixed Income. Michael, what does this 342 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,719 Speaker 1: record curve and version mean to you? How does your 343 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: world change when you see two tens one hundred and 344 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: two basis points? 345 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, Tom and Lisa, good morning. 346 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,439 Speaker 7: The dilemma out there, and one of the reasons the 347 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 7: Martins are so confused and everybody was confused about the 348 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 7: economic trajectory is that the typical models, the traditional leading 349 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 7: indicators like the slope of the yield curve, all of 350 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 7: the empirical evidence, the surveys are all pointing to recession 351 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 7: right pending recession doom. The problem is from the bottom up, 352 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 7: the fundamental analysts in US and you know, as you 353 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 7: know Peache and fixed income, we pride ourselves on that 354 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 7: bottom up analysis. I always say, sometimes the economists tell 355 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 7: the analysts what's. 356 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 6: Going to happen. 357 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 7: But our view is a lot of times the analysts 358 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 7: tell the economists what's going to happen. And when you 359 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 7: look at the world from the bottom up and you 360 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 7: look at all these companies and all these industries, and 361 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 7: you look at the housing market, the auto market, the 362 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 7: mortgage market, the banking system, it's hard to find the 363 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 7: areas where you're going to see a big collapse in activity, 364 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 7: in demand, in lending in and a big surge in default. 365 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,360 Speaker 7: So we're kind of splitting the difference and just assuming 366 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 7: that growth is going to slow, you have a moderation 367 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 7: and growth, moderation and inflation, but there's really low risk 368 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 7: of a deeper session. 369 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: Here within that analysis, do you go load the boat 370 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: on garbage corporate or dare I say high yield distress? 371 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: Or do you take the middle ground of equality corporate 372 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: versus full faith and credit. 373 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's the latter for sure. 374 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 7: I mean, what happens at this point to cycle Tom 375 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 7: with the Fed and all these other central banks having 376 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 7: tightened policies. 377 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 6: So aggressively, it does start to bite. 378 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,919 Speaker 7: And it is starting to bite the weakest credits, the 379 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 7: weakest people, the weakest governments, and you're seeing the most 380 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,120 Speaker 7: levered credits, the ones that are exposed to floating rates, 381 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:39,360 Speaker 7: whether they're loan issuers or whether they're commercial real estate borrowers, 382 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 7: they are starting to get hit, right. So those are 383 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 7: the areas of the market you really want to be 384 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 7: careful with and avoid. The good news is, as we've 385 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 7: talked about with you many times, the higher quality parts 386 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 7: of the market are still for sale. They're offering tremendous spreads, 387 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 7: tremendous yields to kind of sit up in quality and 388 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 7: print you know, six handle coupons while you wait. 389 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 3: Michael, I have to be honest. A lot of people 390 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 3: have come on this show and they say, you know, 391 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,919 Speaker 3: you've come up with a theory, and you hold it 392 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 3: for a longer period of time. You try to ignore 393 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,479 Speaker 3: the noise of all the mood swings, and we come 394 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,239 Speaker 3: up here and we say, yeah, yeah, yeah, But our 395 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 3: job every day is to gauge the mood swings and 396 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,919 Speaker 3: figure out how the shifts are happening. Today, there is 397 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 3: a material shift after a week of hawkish speak from 398 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 3: a lot of central bankers around the world. Does that 399 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 3: shift your view at all, the sense that suddenly we're 400 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 3: gaming out six and a quarter percent ECB rates that 401 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 3: the FED possibly is going to go even two more 402 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 3: times this year. 403 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean this happens every FED cycle, Lisa. The 404 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 7: markets kind of have these blow off tops. Maybe we've 405 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 7: just seen that credit spreads rally. We've just seen that 406 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 7: there's this enthusiasm right at the end of the FED 407 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 7: hiking cycle that Wow, the economy is doing good. And 408 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 7: the reason the Fed's able to continue hike and these 409 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 7: other central banks are able to continue to hike is 410 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 7: because the economy doing good and it does well until 411 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 7: it doesn't, right, And so we're probably at one of 412 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 7: those precipices right now where we're peaking in optimism, peaking 413 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 7: in sentiment and growth, and you're going to start seeing 414 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 7: the slide. You're going to start seeing those problems emerge, 415 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 7: those cracks start to increase. Growth and inflation are going 416 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 7: to be lower in six and twelve months from now 417 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 7: than they are today. But again, the point is it's 418 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 7: not going to be one of these existential credit crises 419 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 7: that we've become so accustomed to experiencing. So you wait, 420 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 7: you have to be patient, you wait for those cracks, 421 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,199 Speaker 7: and then you jump in. I mean, look at the 422 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 7: regional banks. We've been underweight regional banks. A lot of 423 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 7: them just issued the big super regionals and we covered 424 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 7: and went to an overweight. 425 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 6: Right, those are the types of things you have to 426 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 6: be patient for. 427 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,360 Speaker 3: This is something we're not used to. It's not two 428 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 3: thousand and eight. Everyone was looking for a two thousand 429 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 3: and eight corollary, but there still will be pain. How 430 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 3: do you game out what the right level is? What 431 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 3: are you looking for in terms of a selloff to 432 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 3: make say, hial bonds look attractive some of these other 433 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 3: credit instruments that you're staying away from. 434 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, the mistake. 435 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,120 Speaker 7: A lot of folks are making leases. They're looking at 436 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 7: all the historical relationships, right, They're looking at high yield spreads, 437 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,120 Speaker 7: and a typical recession go out to eight hundred basis 438 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 7: points or one thousand basis points, and in today's world, 439 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 7: that would be a fifteen percent yield, right, which is 440 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 7: which is kind of armageddon. They expect high yield the 441 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,679 Speaker 7: faults to hit ten percent. That's because they're looking at 442 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 7: the old models, looking at some of the past recessions 443 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 7: where you had a lot of leverage, where you had 444 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 7: a lot of excesses and credit build ups. You do 445 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 7: not have that now, So ar Mantra is you know, 446 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 7: six hundred spread on the high heeld market is the 447 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 7: new eight hundred. 448 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 8: Right. 449 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 7: If you get into the fives, you're buying high yield 450 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 7: in terms of spread, that's a you know, that's still 451 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 7: a ten or low double digit coupon. 452 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: Michael, let's go into quality right now. I just looked 453 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: at the Apple of two thousand and thirty three. The 454 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: Apple piece out ten years is half a percentage point 455 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: fifty nine basis points over treasuries. You can look at those, folks. 456 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,879 Speaker 1: So you acclaim why a screen and the d d 457 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: ice screen and the Bloomberg This is how we invented 458 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 1: the company. But the company wasn't invented over Bloomberg surveillance. 459 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: It was invented over bond analysis. In case there was 460 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: any confusion there, Michael, is Apple debt, full faith and credit. 461 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 7: You know, the amount of cash some of those big 462 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 7: tech companies have tom is really amazing, and Apple's right 463 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 7: at the top of the list. And all these big 464 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 7: tech companies, you know, we look at their equities and 465 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 7: they're volatile, and their high beta and fixed income land. 466 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 7: A lot of those big you know, super megacap tech 467 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 7: companies are the double a's and triple a's, you know, 468 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 7: they're the old exxons and banks of yesteryear. They're like 469 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 7: the utilities because they have so much cash. They print cash. 470 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 7: They could pay off all their debt tomorrow if they want. 471 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 7: Right though, the spreads you mentioned are really tight, there's 472 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 7: no value there. 473 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 6: We don't own those. 474 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 7: We're typically underweight that whole sector in the bond market 475 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 7: and focus on the areas where you get more spread. 476 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 6: I mean, you could sell Apple. 477 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 7: At fifty nine basis points tom and buy a triple 478 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 7: A rated COLO. I know that's a dirty word for 479 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 7: some people. At almost three or four times that spread 480 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 7: or excess return, that is a home run. That's an 481 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 7: easy trade, and we have that on in a big way. 482 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 1: Michael Collins. You bring me to tears. Thank you so much, 483 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: Michael Collins. With p Jim, we're going to drive forward 484 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 1: here in a debate on the market, and as we 485 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 1: talk to people really cautious this morning, let's talk to 486 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 1: somebody fair and balanced.

Are you bullser bears? 491 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 9: Linda, Well, you know, it's good morning and it's hard 492 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 9: to say bullser bears. You talking about what kind of 493 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 9: landing we were having. We've been saying for the past 494 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 9: that's say, twelve months, we'll have a rocky land and 495 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 9: that does include kind of the rolling recession that you 496 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,919 Speaker 9: were speaking about earlier on and so you know, it 497 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 9: would have been a lot rockier in the stock market 498 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 9: as we were expecting to maybe even test those lows 499 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 9: if we didn't have that AI narrative that went on 500 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 9: and then the run up and the big big stocks 501 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 9: because as we all know, underneath the surface, the average 502 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 9: stock is only up a couple percent. 503 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 4: Year to date. 504 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 3: Linda, do you think this is a tipping point in 505 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 3: terms of an understanding of how far central bankers are 506 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 3: willing to go and what that means for the revenues 507 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 3: of a lot of stocks that have done pretty well 508 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 3: this year? 509 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 4: Well, no, I don't particularly think so. 510 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 9: I mean I realized that they made a big move 511 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 9: over in the UK, and thank goodness, we're in the 512 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 9: US as versus the UK, they have a bigger problem 513 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 9: than we do on inflation. We have always said that 514 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 9: they will continue to bring inflation down to a level, 515 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 9: maybe it's three or maybe it's two. And if we 516 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 9: take the FED at their word for two percent, it's 517 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 9: going to be higher for longer. And we have said 518 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 9: that in federated hetermis for a very long time. The 519 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 9: question is, well they call victory at three percent, because 520 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,919 Speaker 9: if they do, we may get out of this with 521 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 9: just the rocky landing. But if they don't, they will 522 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,159 Speaker 9: tighten into a real recession. 523 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 3: So if you don't think that anything really has changed, 524 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 3: and we're kind of in the same place we were 525 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 3: two weeks ago, even though the narrative has shifted, is 526 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 3: this a time to buy? Is this a time to 527 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 3: look for some of the weakness and then say, all right, 528 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:25,439 Speaker 3: we can step back in. 529 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. 530 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 9: You know, it's interesting about the narrative shifting because you know, 531 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 9: get I get hundreds of emails a day from our 532 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 9: Wall Street sources, and it seemed like everybody got a 533 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 9: memo at a moment that said, okay, now we're over blocked. 534 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 9: Now it's time to maybe take some money off the table, 535 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 9: why you know, and the technicians are out there saying 536 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 9: maybe forty two hundred, we test forty three hundred anyway. 537 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 9: On the down side, July anyway is a week month. 538 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 9: You can use all these statistics historically and say, fundamentally, 539 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 9: what's going on in our economy. Fundamentally, actually the economy 540 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 9: is very strong. And when I think people will failed 541 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 9: to continue to appreciate, is still the amount of stimulus unbelievable. 542 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 9: Outside stimulus, I just read a statistic that said that 543 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 9: liquid assets for consumers are four zero point four trillion 544 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,239 Speaker 9: dollars greater than what they were at the end of 545 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 9: twenty nineteen. And we were doing just fine at the 546 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 9: end of twenty nineteen. 547 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 1: I mean, this is really important. And I got eight 548 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: ways to go here, Linda, and I'm going to go 549 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: to what Lawrence McDonald did in a terrific essay this week. 550 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: He outlined the wall of money and ETF's mutual funds 551 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: and the rest of it that animals like Federated or 552 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 1: mes are dealing with. Is all this market about is 553 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: just a ginormous first order condition, which is a wall 554 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 1: of money trying to find a warm spot. 555 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 9: Well, it's very much a huge piece of it. And 556 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 9: that wall of money is not just looking for a 557 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 9: place to invest. That wall of money is out there 558 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 9: spending and particularly on services. And it will be interesting 559 00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 9: to see what the PMI say. But whatever information we've 560 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 9: got to buy, confidence, not just consumer confidence, but housing 561 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 9: confidence has been very very strong here lately. Airline information 562 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 9: that I just saw. 563 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 4: This just I think the other two days ago. 564 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 9: Airline information is very strong for this summer. So the 565 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 9: recessions too early. 566 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want lind, I don't want you to 567 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: talk about a specific portfolio. But if I'm looking at 568 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: a federated portfolio and we're in the old days, you 569 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: had two or three or four percent in Microsoft or Apple, 570 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: let's say on a perspective s basis, it's elevated up 571 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: by growth to eight percent or ten percent. Are you 572 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: guys forced to sell these big tech companies when they 573 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,719 Speaker 1: become so big? How do you handle that? 574 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 10: Well? 575 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 9: Of course, we have portfolios that are stock bond portfolios 576 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 9: that are all across the spectrum, and we have our objectives. 577 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 9: There is no particular requirement, but each portfolio manager will 578 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 9: have an objective that says, once a particular holding gets 579 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 9: above a particular level, maybe five percent or so, then 580 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 9: they'll they may want to trim some of that because 581 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,959 Speaker 9: it gets to be outsized. Of course, this is one 582 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 9: of the reasons why portfolio manage managers have had a 583 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 9: very difficult time beating the SMP this year, as you 584 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 9: can't hold as much in the SMP as the S 585 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 9: ANDP bolts in these big names. 586 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 1: Linda, thank you, Linda Dussel, whether it's the Federated or 587 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: me as there one time, ten, twelve, thirteen years ago, 588 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: I really can't remember. I guess I had nothing to do. 589 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: I follow how'd go over and get a free glass 590 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 1: of wine from Richard hass at the Console on Foreign Relations. 591 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: I walked up Park Avenue, I went into their wonderful building, 592 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: and Ambassador Haas walked out and he did something was like, well, okay, 593 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: so what he interviewed? He introduced rather a new website 594 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 1: for the Console on Foreign Relations. He and his team 595 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 1: were at least five, if not eight years ahead of 596 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 1: everybody else in the digital media game. And I can't 597 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 1: say enough about the value of the Council on Foreign 598 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:08,959 Speaker 1: Relations website right now. Roger Ferguson on a reset of 599 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 1: where the Fed should head to on interest rates, and 600 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 1: an introduction here of Ambassador has Alyssa Airs of Georgetown 601 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 1: on what we don't know about India. Richard hasse wonderful 602 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 1: to have you on today. Professor Ayers of Georgetown is 603 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 1: blistering about how India wants to deal with the United States. 604 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: We saw Modi at the White House. Was it a fiction? 605 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 11: It wasn't a fiction, Tom, but his enormous height in 606 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 11: terms of what India is going to do for and 607 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 11: with the United States, let me think about it. Yes, 608 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 11: it's fast growing economy, it's the most populous country in 609 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 11: the world, but there are some important butts when it 610 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 11: comes to India. 611 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 12: It still gets most of its arms from Russia. 612 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 11: It's buying copious amounts of Russian oil and gas. 613 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 12: It hasn't supported US diplomatically there. 614 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 11: It's a reminder that India always hedges it in its 615 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 11: farm policy. 616 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 12: And yes, there's growth in our economic relations. 617 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 11: But as everyone who would come on your show would 618 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 11: tell you, we does business there, it's still extraordinarily tough 619 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 11: to gain access to the to the Indian marketing. 620 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 12: So kind of a lot of happy talk about the 621 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 12: United States in. 622 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: India is it just too far away, is it, you know, 623 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 1: like a Patrick O'Brien novel on the other side of 624 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: the world. 625 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 12: Look, we know, I. 626 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 11: Don't think that's the U ship and I think again. 627 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 11: But it's also driving in years domestic politics. It turns 628 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 11: out the Indian American community time it's the wealthiest community 629 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 11: of any other community in the United States. There's obviously 630 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 11: powerful political reasons. 631 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 12: No, it's just it's just difficult. 632 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 11: We don't have a great tradition of cooperating with India, 633 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 11: and people I think are hyping it, Which is not 634 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 11: to say there's not something. 635 00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 12: There's not something there. There is. 636 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 11: There is growing strategic cooperation, growing economic trade and investment. 637 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 12: I just think people are exaggerating the upside. 638 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,280 Speaker 3: In the meantime, during the conversation and the President Biden 639 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 3: had with Prime Minister Modi, he poo pooed some of 640 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:16,400 Speaker 3: the controversy around calling Jijinping a dictator, saying it's not 641 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 3: a big deal. You know he is, and I'm going 642 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:20,879 Speaker 3: to head over there and meet him. Do you think 643 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 3: that that was enough to quell some of the concerns 644 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 3: about the renewed tensions that he ignited. 645 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 11: It wasn't helpful first of all, saying that Shishaping didn't 646 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,879 Speaker 11: know about the Bologon incident. The president may have thought 647 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 11: he was helping him, but if you're the guy who 648 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:34,879 Speaker 11: was really. 649 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,319 Speaker 12: In charge of China, you don't like being reminded that 650 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,719 Speaker 12: you may not be one hundred percent in charge. The 651 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:41,319 Speaker 12: dictator comment didn't help. 652 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,280 Speaker 11: But I think at the end of the day, China 653 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,319 Speaker 11: is worried most not about what Joe Biden said. He's 654 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 11: worried about new economic restrictions, export controls, and so forth. 655 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 11: So what they want to do is try to put 656 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 11: a limit on well what's introduced in that realm, and 657 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,240 Speaker 11: come November, President Xieshin Pining wants to meet with President 658 00:34:59,280 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 11: Biden here. 659 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 12: So my guess is they're going to overlook this latest. 660 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:07,240 Speaker 3: Diplomaticans given that heading into this year, you are among 661 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 3: the people saying it's one of the most fraught times 662 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 3: we have ever seen on a geopolitical stance. Do you 663 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 3: think that those tensions have abated, that we've moved away 664 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 3: from the brink and it feels less perilous now, or 665 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,359 Speaker 3: do you think people are just taking a pause and 666 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 3: focusing on things like the FED, like the Bank of England, 667 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,840 Speaker 3: and we'll be reminded of the geopolitical pressures later on. 668 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 11: Yeah, at the risk of not giving you the answer 669 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 11: you want, the tensions haven't gotten any less possibilities. You 670 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 11: know what happens next with Russia in Europe and Ukraine. 671 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,360 Speaker 11: None of that's gone away, the dangers of continued war escalation. 672 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 11: The United States Chinese relationship is still searching for a floor. 673 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 11: We're tired of the Middle East, but the Middle East 674 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 11: isn't tired of us. 675 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 12: You've got a rond still on the brink of nuclear weapons. 676 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 11: I'm actually even more worried in the short run that 677 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:57,399 Speaker 11: the Israeli Palestinian relationship could blow sky high. I think 678 00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 11: it is very close to the edge of extraor their 679 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:05,760 Speaker 11: eruptions of violence there. We're doing nothing on client really 680 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 11: to speak up. 681 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 12: So when I take a step back, I go no. 682 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 11: I see no evidence that the world is becoming a 683 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 11: more safe place in this era of what. 684 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 12: You might call geopolitical revival. 685 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 1: Richard has summer reading at Congress in the House of Representatives, 686 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 1: in a fractious Senate is everybody has to read your 687 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 1: Bill of obligations. It's a superb short effort folks, this 688 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 1: is the book to throw at the offspring this summer 689 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 1: when they're mouthing off all their political verbiage, either right 690 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 1: or left, just say shut up and read it has 691 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:45,239 Speaker 1: the Bill of Obligations. How are we doing on Capitol Hill, Ambassador? 692 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,400 Speaker 1: Has is anybody reading your book? 693 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 11: Well? 694 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,359 Speaker 13: First of all, Tom, I say, that's truly the most 695 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 13: interesting book. 696 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 12: Drsement I've ever seen in my life. I want to 697 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 12: put that on the cover of something. 698 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 11: Look, I think a lot of peopleeople in Congress and 699 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 11: beyond know there's something wrong here, that American democracy is 700 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,840 Speaker 11: off the rails. There's obviously not a consensus someone to 701 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:08,520 Speaker 11: do about it. 702 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,360 Speaker 12: But as I go around the country. 703 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 11: Talking about the Bill of Obligations, people know it. It 704 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 11: resonates more interested in putting civics in our schools, much 705 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,719 Speaker 11: more interested in reviving public service since that again we 706 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 11: somehow lost our way in. 707 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 12: As a price that we could well pay. So I'm 708 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 12: actually somewhat encouraged. 709 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,360 Speaker 11: Again, We're not there to consent what to do, but 710 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,799 Speaker 11: I think this greater acceptance that we really do have 711 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 11: a serious problem on our hands, and it's a problem 712 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,320 Speaker 11: that transcends any single individual. 713 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 1: Enough politics or shureus. Thank you so much for the 714 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: concept foreign relations. One time, ten, twelve, thirteen years ago, 715 00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,960 Speaker 1: I really can't remember. I had nothing to do. I 716 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 1: follow how to go over and get a free glass 717 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 1: of wine from Richard Hass at the Consul on Foreign Relations. 718 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,840 Speaker 1: I walked up Park Avenue, I went into their wonderful building, 719 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:13,360 Speaker 1: and Ambassador House walked out and he did something was like, well, okay, 720 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:18,280 Speaker 1: so what he interviewed? He introduced rather a new website 721 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,240 Speaker 1: for the Council on Foreign Relations. He and his team 722 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,920 Speaker 1: were at least five, if not eight, years ahead of 723 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:29,160 Speaker 1: everybody else in the digital media game. And I can't 724 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,920 Speaker 1: say enough about the value of the Console on Foreign 725 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 1: Relations website Right now. Roger Ferguson on a reset of 726 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 1: where the FED should head to on interest rates and 727 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 1: an introduction here of Ambassador hasse Alissa Ayers of Georgetown 728 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 1: on what we don't know about India. Richard Hass wonderful 729 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:54,279 Speaker 1: to have you on today. Professor Ayers of Georgetown is 730 00:38:54,560 --> 00:39:00,520 Speaker 1: blistering about how India wants to deal with the United Dates. 731 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,080 Speaker 1: We saw Mody at the White House. Was it a fiction? 732 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,759 Speaker 11: It wasn't a fiction, Tom, But this enormous height in 733 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,319 Speaker 11: terms of what India is going to do for and 734 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:12,640 Speaker 11: with the United States. 735 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:14,000 Speaker 12: I mean, think about it. 736 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 11: Yes, it's fast growing economy, it's the most populous country 737 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,600 Speaker 11: in the world. But there are some important butts when 738 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 11: it comes to India. 739 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 12: It still gets most of its arms from Russia. 740 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 11: It's buying copious amounts of Russian oil and gas. 741 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,600 Speaker 12: It hasn't supported US diplomatically there. 742 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:36,759 Speaker 11: It's a reminder that India always hedges in its farm policy. 743 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,719 Speaker 11: And yes, there's growth in our economic relations. But is 744 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,440 Speaker 11: everyone who would come on your. 745 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 12: Show would tell you he does business there. 746 00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:48,280 Speaker 11: It's still extraordinarily tough to gain access to the Indian marketing. 747 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,880 Speaker 11: So kind of a lot of happy talk about the 748 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,440 Speaker 11: United States in India. 749 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 1: Is it just too far away? 750 00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:55,799 Speaker 14: Is it? 751 00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,479 Speaker 1: You know, like a Patrick O'Brien novel on the other 752 00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 1: side of the world. 753 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,440 Speaker 11: Look, we know, I don't think that's the yuship, and 754 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,440 Speaker 11: I think again. But it's also driving in years domestic politics. 755 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,719 Speaker 11: It turns out the Indian American community time it's the 756 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 11: wealthiest community of any other community in the United States. 757 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 12: But there's obviously powerful political reasons. No, it's just it's 758 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:20,600 Speaker 12: just difficult. 759 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,680 Speaker 11: We don't have a great tradition of cooperating with India, 760 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,239 Speaker 11: and people I think are hyping it, Which is not 761 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,319 Speaker 11: to say there's not something there. 762 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:28,799 Speaker 12: There is. 763 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:33,160 Speaker 11: There is growing strategic cooperation, growing economic trade and investment. 764 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,799 Speaker 12: I just think people are exaggerating the upside. 765 00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,760 Speaker 3: In the meantime, during the conversation and the President Biden 766 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,759 Speaker 3: had with Prime Minister Modi, he poo pooed some of 767 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:45,880 Speaker 3: the controversy around calling Jijinping a dictator, saying it's not 768 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,360 Speaker 3: a big deal. You know he is, and I'm going 769 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,359 Speaker 3: to head over there and meet him. Do you think 770 00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,000 Speaker 3: that that was enough to quell some of the concerns 771 00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 3: about the renewed tensions that he ignited. 772 00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:57,520 Speaker 12: What it wasn't helpful? 773 00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,439 Speaker 11: First of all, saying that Shisha Pig didn't know about 774 00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,600 Speaker 11: the Bologna to the President may have thought he was 775 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,359 Speaker 11: helping him, but if you're the guy who was really. 776 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,799 Speaker 12: In charge of China, you don't like being reminded that 777 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 12: you may not be one hundred percent in charge. 778 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,640 Speaker 15: The dictator comment didn't help, But I think at the 779 00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 15: end of the day, China is worried most not about 780 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:18,000 Speaker 15: what Joe Biden said he's worried about new economic restrictions, 781 00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,120 Speaker 15: export controls and so forth. 782 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 11: So what they want to do is try to put 783 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 11: a limit on what's introduced in that realm, and come November, 784 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,399 Speaker 11: President Shieshan thing wants to meet with President Biden here. 785 00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,759 Speaker 12: So my guess is they're going to overlook this latest. 786 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:36,720 Speaker 3: Diplomaticus given that heading into this year, you were among 787 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,040 Speaker 3: the people saying it's one of the most fraught times 788 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,239 Speaker 3: we have ever seen on a geopolitical stance. Do you 789 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,680 Speaker 3: think that those tensions have abated, that we've moved away 790 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,520 Speaker 3: from the brink and it feels less perilous now, or 791 00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:50,839 Speaker 3: do you think people are just taking a pause and 792 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 3: focusing on things like the FED, like the Bank of 793 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,400 Speaker 3: England and we'll be reminded of the geopolitical pressures later on. 794 00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,040 Speaker 11: Yeah, at the risk of not giving you the answer 795 00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:03,440 Speaker 11: you want, the tensions haven't gotten any less possibilities. You 796 00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,440 Speaker 11: know what happens next with Russia in Europe and Ukraine. 797 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,840 Speaker 11: None of that's gone away, the dangers of continued war escalation, 798 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:14,120 Speaker 11: the United States Chinese relationship, it's still searching for a floor. 799 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,640 Speaker 12: We're tired of the middle East. But the Middle East 800 00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,200 Speaker 12: isn't tired of us. You've got a rond still on 801 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:20,480 Speaker 12: the brink of nuclear weapons. 802 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,719 Speaker 11: I'm actually even more worried in the short run that 803 00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,879 Speaker 11: the Israeli Palestinian relationship could blow sky high. I think 804 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:30,840 Speaker 11: it is very close to the edge of extraordinary eruptions 805 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:32,520 Speaker 11: of violence there. 806 00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,480 Speaker 12: We're doing nothing on climate really to speak up. 807 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:38,440 Speaker 11: So when I take a step back, I go no, 808 00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:42,080 Speaker 11: I see no evidence that the world is becoming a 809 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,879 Speaker 11: more stake place in this era of what you might 810 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 11: call geopolitical revival. 811 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 1: Richard has summer reading at Congress in the House of Representatives, 812 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,960 Speaker 1: in a fractious Senate as everybody has to read your 813 00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:59,640 Speaker 1: Bill of Obligations. It's a superb short effort, folks. This 814 00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:03,480 Speaker 1: is the book to throw at the offspring this summer 815 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:07,200 Speaker 1: when they're mouthing off all their political verbiage, either right 816 00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,200 Speaker 1: or left, just say shut up and read it has 817 00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 1: the Bill of Obligations. How are we doing on Capitol Hill, 818 00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,800 Speaker 1: Ambassador Oz, is anybody reading your book? 819 00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:19,520 Speaker 13: Well, first of all, Tom, let me say that's the 820 00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,959 Speaker 13: That's truly the most interesting book endorsement I've ever seen 821 00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:24,759 Speaker 13: in my life. 822 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,960 Speaker 12: I'm want to put that on the cover of something. 823 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,360 Speaker 11: Look, I think a lot of people in Congress and 824 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:34,120 Speaker 11: beyond know there's something wrong here, that American democracy is 825 00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:37,279 Speaker 11: off the rails. There's obviously not a consensus somewhat to 826 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,480 Speaker 11: do about it. But as I go around the country 827 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 11: talking about the Bill of Obligations, people know it. It 828 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:48,239 Speaker 11: resonates more interest in putting civics in our schools, much 829 00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:52,200 Speaker 11: more interested in reviving public service. Since then again we 830 00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,440 Speaker 11: somehow lost our way in as a price that we 831 00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:56,800 Speaker 11: could we could well pay. 832 00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:58,960 Speaker 12: So I'm actually somewhat encouraged. 833 00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,439 Speaker 11: Again, We're not there that can send what to do, 834 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,040 Speaker 11: but I think this greater acceptance that we really do 835 00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:07,040 Speaker 11: have a serious problem on our hands, and it's a 836 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,880 Speaker 11: problem that transcends any single individual and. 837 00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 1: A politics Shureaus, thank you so much for the consult 838 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:19,400 Speaker 1: foreign relations. We're going to take a different track tacked 839 00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:23,080 Speaker 1: right now. And for those of you renting, for those 840 00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:26,719 Speaker 1: of you looking at investment where you're scared stiff of 841 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,920 Speaker 1: the six months to come. Someone expert on this is 842 00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:34,080 Speaker 1: Brad Dillman. He's chief economist of Cortland in Atlanta. They 843 00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:37,600 Speaker 1: do all sorts of sun Belt multifamily stuff, but far 844 00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:41,120 Speaker 1: far mortally importantly, this is a guy out of Washington 845 00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:47,040 Speaker 1: and LSE in the economics of geography, in spatial economics. 846 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,520 Speaker 1: This is a cottage industry of the London School of Economics, 847 00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:54,400 Speaker 1: and Dilman is one of their esteemed graduates. How bad 848 00:44:54,680 --> 00:45:00,239 Speaker 1: is the geography of our multifamily investment right now? We 849 00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:03,759 Speaker 1: use the inflammatory phrase this is Gidtleson's fault. We use 850 00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:07,000 Speaker 1: the phrase time bomb? Is your world? Brad Dillman a 851 00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:07,760 Speaker 1: time bomb? 852 00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,279 Speaker 16: I wouldn't call it a time bomb, no, And to 853 00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:13,040 Speaker 16: the degree that it might be, it's a very slow 854 00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:13,680 Speaker 16: moving one. 855 00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 4: There's a number of factors at play here. 856 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,120 Speaker 16: I've interpreted a lot of the policies coming out of 857 00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,880 Speaker 16: the pandemic as being a de facto housing supply stimulus, 858 00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:23,480 Speaker 16: not just on the single family side. But we had 859 00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:25,880 Speaker 16: low interest rates leading the home price appreciation and single 860 00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:29,720 Speaker 16: family supply, but the eviction moratoria distorting occupancy rates markets, 861 00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,439 Speaker 16: increasing rent growth, and then in the context of zero 862 00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,919 Speaker 16: industrates allowing a lot of multifamily supply to kick off 863 00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,680 Speaker 16: in a country that's been under built for quite some time. 864 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,160 Speaker 4: That's not really an issue, but could it compound into 865 00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:41,760 Speaker 4: one eventually. 866 00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:45,359 Speaker 1: Yes, right, I'm fascinated what you see and don't kid 867 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:48,160 Speaker 1: your sales guys. Cortland is looking at this like on 868 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:53,760 Speaker 1: a five minute basis, Are you actually seeing rents level 869 00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:58,960 Speaker 1: out or rent disinflation? Could that be possible? Asking for 870 00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:02,160 Speaker 1: twenty million people in tri state New York. They don't 871 00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:02,680 Speaker 1: believe it. 872 00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,319 Speaker 16: Yeah, No, the data is very clear that we've been 873 00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,280 Speaker 16: in a disinflationary rent growth environment. So annual rent growth 874 00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,520 Speaker 16: peak in general terms, you know, in the summer of 875 00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,120 Speaker 16: last year. It's been slowing since then. One thing we 876 00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,800 Speaker 16: have seen has been that new leases, so we're always 877 00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,800 Speaker 16: looking at you know, new leases and then also existing 878 00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:22,040 Speaker 16: leases that are going to renew right new leases or 879 00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:25,440 Speaker 16: a vacant unit have started to increase again just at 880 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,000 Speaker 16: the same time that looks like occupancies may start to trough. 881 00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,239 Speaker 16: So what has been called like a six to eight 882 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,560 Speaker 16: month disinflationary environment in rent growth looks like it could 883 00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:34,879 Speaker 16: actually start to re expand again. 884 00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,680 Speaker 1: Help me with a not in my backyard. I mean, 885 00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:43,239 Speaker 1: what's a typical multifamily size? How many units is a 886 00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,480 Speaker 1: typical Courtland property. 887 00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,000 Speaker 4: About two hundred and fifty two hundred and fifty to 888 00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:48,960 Speaker 4: three hundred units. 889 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,239 Speaker 16: These is you know, for Courtland, it's suburban mid rise 890 00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:53,040 Speaker 16: product generally in the sun Belt. 891 00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,080 Speaker 4: But obviously there's all sorts of different types of housing 892 00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:55,439 Speaker 4: out there. 893 00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,920 Speaker 1: What's the not in my backyard level right now? Is 894 00:46:57,920 --> 00:46:59,640 Speaker 1: it tough to build this stuff like it is up 895 00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:00,440 Speaker 1: in the North Feast? 896 00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:01,640 Speaker 11: You know? 897 00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:03,920 Speaker 16: The reality is that the suburbs have never been more 898 00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,239 Speaker 16: accommodated when it comes to multi family housing. It's a 899 00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,200 Speaker 16: it's a narrative that we hear a lot. If you 900 00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,560 Speaker 16: look at the construction as a percentage of inventory in 901 00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:12,719 Speaker 16: the suburbs, it's really caught up to the Earthport. 902 00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:17,280 Speaker 1: I see. Got you. The problem here, folks, is Brad 903 00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:20,360 Speaker 1: answers short questions. He thinks he's on TV. You're on 904 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:24,120 Speaker 1: radio tube, Brad worldwide. So you're allowed to expand on that. 905 00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,959 Speaker 1: I want you to expand right now on your optimism 906 00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:31,839 Speaker 1: on multifamily housing over the next two years, because all 907 00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,120 Speaker 1: we get up here in New York, all we get 908 00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:36,719 Speaker 1: is gloom on real estate. I'm not hearing that love 909 00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 1: from you. Are you optimistic about multifamily development? 910 00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:43,400 Speaker 4: Am I optimist about development? 911 00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:43,480 Speaker 9: No? 912 00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:43,960 Speaker 2: I'm not. 913 00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,480 Speaker 4: And the reason for that is the interest rate environment. 914 00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:49,200 Speaker 16: If we look at the cost to get a construction 915 00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:51,480 Speaker 16: loan for the larger kind of product that say Courtland 916 00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,360 Speaker 16: would develop, this's two hundred and fifty to three hundred 917 00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:56,080 Speaker 16: unit product. It's too stiff right now as far as 918 00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,239 Speaker 16: we can tell, that area of the multi failing market 919 00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:00,400 Speaker 16: has shut down. But if you look at multi family 920 00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:03,040 Speaker 16: starts in the five unit in upspace, right, so this 921 00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:05,479 Speaker 16: is going to be smaller product, maybe ten units, maybe 922 00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:09,040 Speaker 16: forty units, maybe in places like Knoxville, maybe even rural America. 923 00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:12,560 Speaker 16: This kind of product is still starting and is still underway. 924 00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:16,240 Speaker 1: So July twenty six and September twenty or FED meetings 925 00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:18,759 Speaker 1: if they act, and it's I'm not going to say 926 00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,440 Speaker 1: highly likely, but it is probable that they'll find a 927 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,839 Speaker 1: new rate regime at a higher level. What does that 928 00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:30,000 Speaker 1: do to multifamily real estate and for that matter, commercial 929 00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,799 Speaker 1: real estate that you study across America? 930 00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:37,160 Speaker 16: Right, So, obviously, just by keeping financing costs high, it's 931 00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,200 Speaker 16: going to have an impact on values. We've already seen 932 00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:41,520 Speaker 16: an impact on liquidity in the space, meaning we haven't 933 00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,600 Speaker 16: seen too many transactions. It's going to make further construction 934 00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,000 Speaker 16: a little bit more difficult, and we'll certainly lead to 935 00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:49,400 Speaker 16: some distress. Right now, it would appear that the distress 936 00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:51,640 Speaker 16: is really going to be in that construction and transitional 937 00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,959 Speaker 16: financing space maturities in the twenty twenty three through twenty 938 00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,600 Speaker 16: twenty five range if rates do say high like that, 939 00:48:57,840 --> 00:48:59,759 Speaker 16: and let's say we do hit a new regime of 940 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:01,960 Speaker 16: you know, okay, the FED fund rate is going to 941 00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:03,520 Speaker 16: be at you know, three to four percent, you know, 942 00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:05,160 Speaker 16: in perpetuity, you know, with. 943 00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:07,440 Speaker 4: Bouts up and down. We would need to see an 944 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:09,880 Speaker 4: inflationial environment that corresponds with that. So we need to 945 00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:11,799 Speaker 4: see rent growth or cheaper. 946 00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:14,880 Speaker 16: Inputs into the development process in order to see development 947 00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:15,640 Speaker 16: continue a pace. 948 00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,400 Speaker 1: On Bloomberg Surveillance, I'm radio on television. We're talking with 949 00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:21,960 Speaker 1: Brad Dillman of Atlanta, of Courtland where they do multifamily 950 00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:25,360 Speaker 1: housing and something. And I'm really remiss of as folks 951 00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,239 Speaker 1: we ignore this and it's completely a New York City 952 00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:31,360 Speaker 1: conceit and we should not. It's a huge part of 953 00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:34,040 Speaker 1: a discussion in America. I want to go demographic on 954 00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:36,360 Speaker 1: you right now, Brad Dillman. I'm going to be the 955 00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,080 Speaker 1: only one left on the island of Manhattan. Everybody else 956 00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:42,320 Speaker 1: is moving to Florida. Is that a cliche or is 957 00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:45,040 Speaker 1: there something actually true that we all got to move 958 00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:46,759 Speaker 1: down to Atlanta Braves baseball. 959 00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:49,840 Speaker 4: It certainly seems like everybody's moving to Florida. 960 00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,400 Speaker 16: Sometimes the reality is too when we look at some 961 00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,319 Speaker 16: of this information that we're saying that the migration to 962 00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:57,200 Speaker 16: the sunbell has actually slowed a little bit. We look 963 00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,000 Speaker 16: at cell phone data, we look at the census is 964 00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:02,359 Speaker 16: my you know, population and components of change tables. It's 965 00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:04,640 Speaker 16: still there. People are still moving, but it has slowed 966 00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:06,920 Speaker 16: down a bit. Something that we don't talk about, that 967 00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:08,520 Speaker 16: we don't hear a lot about is immigration. 968 00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:09,080 Speaker 6: Now. 969 00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:13,000 Speaker 16: Immigration has actually kicked off very strongly over the last 970 00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,040 Speaker 16: few years, only coming out of the pandemic. If you 971 00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:18,759 Speaker 16: look at the foreign born adult population, it's increasing nearly 972 00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:20,160 Speaker 16: five million people in three years. 973 00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:20,480 Speaker 14: Right. 974 00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:22,640 Speaker 16: That's bigger in the population of New Zealand.

I expect to be meeting with President 1069 00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:51,719 Speaker 22: she sometime in the future a near term, and I 1070 00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:54,440 Speaker 22: don't think it's had any real consequence. 1071 00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:57,120 Speaker 18: All those sentiments from President Biden do not appear to 1072 00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:59,880 Speaker 18: be shared by China. A spokesman for the Chinese embassy 1073 00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:04,280 Speaker 18: as the President's remarks were quote erroneous, absurd, and irresponsible. 1074 00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:06,520 Speaker 17: Well, we turned to the markets now, Nathan, and we're 1075 00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:09,680 Speaker 17: seeing global stocks had for their biggest weekly decline in 1076 00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:12,919 Speaker 17: more than three months. Concerns of our higher interest rates 1077 00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:15,200 Speaker 17: appear to be the catalyst.

That's because of 1083 00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:33,160 Speaker 23: a tight labor market and inflation coming down. When it 1084 00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:35,919 Speaker 23: comes to consumption, Yellen said we probably need to see 1085 00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:38,360 Speaker 23: some slow down in spending in order to get inflation 1086 00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:41,799 Speaker 23: under control. She said the core measure of price increases 1087 00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:44,560 Speaker 23: is quite high. Yellen also said we could have a 1088 00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:47,680 Speaker 23: lovely debate about what the inflation target would be, but 1089 00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:50,279 Speaker 23: this is not the time for that debate. Fedcher J. 1090 00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:53,440 Speaker 23: Powell has rejected the idea of entertaining a change in 1091 00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:57,279 Speaker 23: the two percent target sentiment.

This is Bloomberg Day Break. 1219 01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:38,360 Speaker 18: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. With the explosion of chat 1220 01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:41,680 Speaker 18: GPT over the past year, companies are looking to implement 1221 01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:46,480 Speaker 18: artificial intelligence across their businesses. But what will the future 1222 01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:50,320 Speaker 18: look like with AI in it? Open AI CEO and 1223 01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:53,040 Speaker 18: co founder Sam Altman joined our Emily Chang at the 1224 01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:58,520 Speaker 18: Bloomberg Technology Summit. They discussed existential questions about AI and 1225 01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:02,320 Speaker 18: what should be done to regular this powerful technology. Let's 1226 01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:03,800 Speaker 18: listen in to part of that discussion. 1227 01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:07,760 Speaker 26: Now, there's many ways it could go wrong, but we 1228 01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:12,000 Speaker 26: work with powerful technology that can be used in dangerous 1229 01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:17,320 Speaker 26: ways very frequently in the world, and I think we've 1230 01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:23,040 Speaker 26: developed over the decades good safety system practices in many categories. 1231 01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:25,480 Speaker 26: It's not perfect, and this won't be perfect either. Things 1232 01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:28,000 Speaker 26: will go wrong, but I think we'll be able to 1233 01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:31,600 Speaker 26: mitigate some of the worst scenarios. You could imagine, you know, 1234 01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:35,320 Speaker 26: bioterror is like a common example, cybersecurities another like many 1235 01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:38,360 Speaker 26: more we could talk about. But the main thing that 1236 01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:42,080 Speaker 26: I feel is important about this technology is that we 1237 01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:45,200 Speaker 26: are on an exponential curve and a relatively steep one, 1238 01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:49,640 Speaker 26: and human intuition for exponential curves is like really bad 1239 01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:52,960 Speaker 26: in general. It clearly was not that important in our 1240 01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:56,440 Speaker 26: evolutionary history, and so I think we have to given 1241 01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:58,120 Speaker 26: that we all have that weakness. I think we have 1242 01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:01,040 Speaker 26: to like really push ourselves to say, okay, GPT four 1243 01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:04,000 Speaker 26: you know not at risk like you're talking about there, 1244 01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:07,080 Speaker 26: but how sure we the GPT nine won't be And 1245 01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:09,560 Speaker 26: if it might be, even if there's a small percentage 1246 01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:11,200 Speaker 26: chance of it being really bad, like that. 1247 01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:11,919 Speaker 2: Deserves great care. 1248 01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:15,480 Speaker 27: And if there is that small percentage chance, why keep. 1249 01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:15,880 Speaker 11: Doing this at all? 1250 01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:19,240 Speaker 26: Like why not stop a I think that the upsides 1251 01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:23,040 Speaker 26: here are tremendous, you know, opportunity for everyone on earth 1252 01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:27,080 Speaker 26: to have a better quality education than basically anyone can 1253 01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:30,680 Speaker 26: get today. That seems like really important, and that'd be 1254 01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:33,800 Speaker 26: a bad thing to stop medical care And what's I 1255 01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:36,320 Speaker 26: think going to happen there and making that available, like 1256 01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:40,040 Speaker 26: truly globally. That's going to be transformative, the scientific progress 1257 01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:42,160 Speaker 26: we're going to see. I'm a big believer that, like, 1258 01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:46,400 Speaker 26: real sustainable improvements in quality of life come from scientific 1259 01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:48,840 Speaker 26: and technological progress, and I think we're gonna have a 1260 01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:49,360 Speaker 26: lot more of that. 1261 01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:50,760 Speaker 6: So there are all the. 1262 01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:54,240 Speaker 26: Obvious benefits, and you know, like I think it'd be 1263 01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:56,520 Speaker 26: good to end poverty, Like maybe you think we should 1264 01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:58,560 Speaker 26: stop a technology that can do that. I personally don't, 1265 01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:00,720 Speaker 26: but we got to manage through the risk to get there. 1266 01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:05,640 Speaker 26: I also think at this point, given how much people 1267 01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:09,920 Speaker 26: see the economic benefits and potential, no company could stop it. 1268 01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:13,800 Speaker 26: But global regulation, which I only think should be on 1269 01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:18,400 Speaker 26: these like powerful existential risk level systems. Global regulation is hard, 1270 01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:21,280 Speaker 26: and you know you don't want to overdo it for sure, 1271 01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:24,760 Speaker 26: but I think global regulation can help make it safe, 1272 01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:26,760 Speaker 26: which is a better answer than stopping it. I also 1273 01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:27,959 Speaker 26: don't think stopping it would work. 1274 01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:30,840 Speaker 27: Let's talk about the global regulation. You've been around the 1275 01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:33,440 Speaker 27: world meeting with regulators, you met with President Biden and 1276 01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:37,560 Speaker 27: the CEOs of Microsoft and Google, and you're calling for regulation, 1277 01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:41,360 Speaker 27: but with some caveats. The critics say it sounds like 1278 01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:44,480 Speaker 27: you're saying regulate us but not really, or that you 1279 01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:48,800 Speaker 27: are calling for regulation in public but lobbying for something 1280 01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:49,720 Speaker 27: else in private. 1281 01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:51,120 Speaker 18: How would you respond. 1282 01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:54,520 Speaker 26: To that we're pushing for it in private too. I mean, obviously, 1283 01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:57,800 Speaker 26: like we have some opinions about the ways to do 1284 01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:01,240 Speaker 26: it that'll be effective and it'll be ineffective. We for example, 1285 01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:04,280 Speaker 26: don't think small startups and open source models below a 1286 01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:08,120 Speaker 26: certain very high capability threshold should be subject to a 1287 01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:12,320 Speaker 26: lot of regulation. But also we think it is super 1288 01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:14,840 Speaker 26: important that as we think about a system that could 1289 01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:17,280 Speaker 26: be at a risk level, like you were talking about, that, 1290 01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:22,560 Speaker 26: we have a global and as a coordinated response as possible. 1291 01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:25,400 Speaker 26: So we've been talking about that publicly privately I think 1292 01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:28,480 Speaker 26: it's really important. You know, you could like point out 1293 01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:32,880 Speaker 26: that it's we're like trying to do regulatory capture here 1294 01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:35,840 Speaker 26: or whatever, but I just don't. I think that's like 1295 01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:39,280 Speaker 26: so transparently intellectually dishonest. I don't even know how to respond. 1296 01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:43,520 Speaker 27: You have an incredible amount of power at this moment 1297 01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:43,960 Speaker 27: in time. 1298 01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:47,200 Speaker 26: Why should we trust you? 1299 01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:47,840 Speaker 1: You shouldn't? 1300 01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:51,120 Speaker 26: You know me for a long time public talking like 1301 01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:54,040 Speaker 26: I'd rather be in the office working, But I think 1302 01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:57,520 Speaker 26: at this moment in time, like people deserve basically as 1303 01:07:57,600 --> 01:08:00,400 Speaker 26: much time asking questions as they want. I'm trying to 1304 01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:02,760 Speaker 26: show up and do it. But more to that, like, 1305 01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:05,760 Speaker 26: no one person should be trusted here. I don't have 1306 01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:09,240 Speaker 26: super voting shares. I don't want them. The board can 1307 01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:11,480 Speaker 26: fire me. I think that's important. I think the board 1308 01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:15,040 Speaker 26: over time needs to get like democratized to all of humanity. 1309 01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:17,759 Speaker 26: There's many ways that could be implemented. But the reason 1310 01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:20,120 Speaker 26: for our structure, and the reason it's so weird, is 1311 01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:23,320 Speaker 26: we think this technology, the benefits, the access to it, 1312 01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:25,720 Speaker 26: the governance of it, belongs to humanity. 1313 01:08:25,400 --> 01:08:25,880 Speaker 2: As a whole. 1314 01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:29,120 Speaker 26: If this really works, it's like quite a powerful technology, 1315 01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:31,600 Speaker 26: and you should not trust one company and certainly not 1316 01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:32,160 Speaker 26: one person. 1317 01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:37,960 Speaker 18: This is Bloomberg Daybreak Today, your morning brief on the 1318 01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:41,400 Speaker 18: story's making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 1319 01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:44,439 Speaker 17: Look for us on your podcast feed at six am 1320 01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:48,200 Speaker 17: Eastern each morning on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you 1321 01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:49,400 Speaker 17: get your podcasts. 1322 01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:52,240 Speaker 18: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 1323 01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:54,880 Speaker 18: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 1324 01:08:54,920 --> 01:08:57,800 Speaker 18: in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, 1325 01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:00,960 Speaker 18: Bloomberg one oh six's one in Boston and Bloomberg nine 1326 01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:02,520 Speaker 18: sixty in San Francisco. 1327 01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:06,040 Speaker 17: Our flagship New York station is also available on your 1328 01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:11,519 Speaker 17: Amazon Alexa devices.
